moderated An anoying letter that comes up in the address bar of Google chrome browser.

Albert Cutolo
Good evening everyone,
When I go into my google chrome’s address bar too type a search, there is a letter a that comes up which I can’t get rid of, even when I try using the delete key on my dell laptop computer. No matter how many times I try deleting that a letter, its still appears. I’ve gone into the settings for chrome, deleted history, cash cookies and passwords and also did a clear all data. How can I get rid of that a letter?
Thanks for any and all suggestions and advice,
Al

Hi, Albert. You Can't. It happens to everyone, but it doesn't interfere with the search.

I’ve also noticed this recently.
The letter “A” always pops up in the Google Chrome address bar.
I’ve tried to get rid of it too, but have had no luck so far.
I’m now getting to the point where I just ignore it and move on.

What I have observed is once start typing the term in the address bar, the letter “A” will be deleted/disappeared. But, still it’s a bug.

I am seriously wondering whether this is a bug in Google Chrome or something else.
If the character were "actually there" (and I am NOT saying you're not having it announced) it should screw up what you're typing were it to be included in the URL, and I doubt it would necessarily be selected by default. For those of you who may have sighted assistants available, ask them whether the letter you're hearing is actually visible in the address bar. It would be interesting to know if it is actually something that can be seen or some weird artifact of the interaction between screen reader and Google Chrome. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

Hi, Brian. I suspect that you are right and it is a weird artifact of the interaction between screen reader and Google Chrome. When I tried using Narrator with Chrome, it wouldn't read what is in the Address Bar, so I can't verrify how Narrator reacts with the address bar.

Hi Brian,
I think it is a bug in Chrome, because I get it, but I ignore it.
Is there some underlined A by the address bar field by any chance? You’d be able to tell us that as a sighted person. If there is, JAWS could be mistakenly reading it as if it were a shortcut, like Alt A or something.
All the best

Hi Bill,
You can get Narrator to read the address bar, if you alt tab away from, and back to, Chrome once you’ve opened it. It seems that Narrator doesn’t recognise that you’ve opened a program when you launch Chrome, and thinks it’s still on the desktop. I have reported this bug to the Narrator team.

you raise a good point. Out of curiosity, I brought up the last version of Window-Eyes, We9.54, which does exactly the same thing -- which, of course, was released a good number of years ago. Guess what, it does the same thing. So, I doubt that this is a true JFW bug but perhaps one of interaction with another program, in this instance, Chrome. Once again, it's a nusiance which confuses; but, if the JAWS user knows what is going on, it should be a non-issue. For the casual or beginner JAWS user, of course, this is going to be totally confusing. I am guessing that if this were an easy fix, it would long ago have been taken care of.

This topic is the one and only instance I am aware of where this issue has ever been mentioned. And I tend to remember "quirky issues" such as this one even from long ago. I'm very curious as to what the actual root cause may be. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build 19044 Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete.

Hi, Steve. I opened Chrome with Narrator, pressed CONTROL plus L for the address bar, tabbed away, and back to Chrome, and Narrator still wouldn't read the Chrome address bar, when I would put in a URL.

Brian,
I too encounter the “A” regularly. Since it doesn’t affect the address, I’m typing I’ve chosen to ignore it. After reading the message below I did ask someone to take a look and see if the mysterious A was there or not. It definitely is not.
Right or wrong, the conclusion I’ve drawn is that it has something to do with either JAWS or Chrome coding. As I said, it doesn’t affect what I’m typing so I’m going to ignore it.
